A dream in itself are unguided thoughts, and they might not be real (like the actor on TV isn't real), but that doesn't make them less thought. No, it's not possible to predict the future, but one can pick up a dangerous situation without being aware of it and dream about the dangers. Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss:

    Smoking, littering, can't pronounce 'responsibility' and feels so insecure he needs to destroy the laptop to make his point. And he couldn't keep it private? Not the kind of role model I want to be for my kids. But then again my experience of teenage girls was working to try and get something into them not trying to get work out of them so what would I know?

    That may be true, but that is because of the exchange rate. The real comparison should be based on Purchasing Power Parity and inflation rate. Just using one figure is neither here nor there. As anywhere in the world, people (including developers) in US work hard for the money they earn. Again, as anywhere in the world, people employed in IT sector are generally paid higher than other sectors. Shreekar

    Not memory, just the advanced searching skills that you need when you don't actually know anything. I don't think you've posted a joke I haven't heard before yet, although I doubt that it was on here that I first heard them. My email server was moved to a new box last week so I was going through a load of old mails, one was a number of jokes from about 8 years ago, I think you have posted all but one of them on here in the last few weeks. As long as they go green and not grey enough people are enjoying them, so keep posting them. Even reposts reach new people. Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
